It’s an outdoor hiking tour through the rain forest with the help of a naturalistic guide to look for the sloths in the wild. We’ll be finding an average of four to six sloths in the area.
We have about 2 miles trails with a rich biodiversity so we also be able to appreciate some birds, frogs, insects and other wildlife around.
This adventure takes almost two hours to be done but it’s a gentile hike in a flat land 30 acres property.
The trails are mostly under shade with some open areas so you only we’ll need some bug spray.

I’m so happy we got to visit Sloth Watching Trail during our time in Costa Rica! Thanks to our awesome guide, Randall, on educating us about different types of sloths, frogs, birds, plants, etc.
We definitely took in all the nature sounds, soothing and a peaceful environment. Highly recommend! Also, don’t forget the bug spray!

The naturalists/guides are fantastic. We saw a number of sloths, one which was about 3 meters from us. We saw many beautiful birds as well. It’s a beautiful location and the walk through the forest was with the price of admission. Note: IMHO getting a guide is critical on any of the nature hikes in Costa Rica. They are amazing at finding and identifying an incredible array of animals. Some large. Some very small. Some fast. Some very SSSLOWWWW. Without the guides you’d miss 95% off what your there to see.

There are many sloth watching tours around La Fortuna. We chose this one on a whim, and were quite happy with the result!
Our guide, Isaac, was a nice, laidback guy with a fun attitude. You could tell he enjoyed himself and his enthusiasm got us going on this especially hot day. He was very good at finding animals too! We saw two and three finger sloths, as well as birds, owls and even bats!
You wouldn't think to find a place with sloths in the heart of the city, but there they are, high up in the trees. Something that I apreciated because I had heard of places that relocate the sloths at eye level
to please the tourists, and that is not what I was looking for. I prefer to watch them in their natural habitat from afar, knowing that I am not bothering them. Luckily, our guide had the perfect lense for that, and we could see the animals really well while taking pictures through the lense scope.
There weren't that many sloths - it was a hot day and the afternoon sun was burning - but we got to see 6 of them, including a mother and her baby, and a male with his distinctive orange stripe actively climbing a tree! That's all I needed to feel content and happy.
Overall, a great place to admire nature respectfully!

We loved our time here, we showed up at 8:30 and were the only ones there and so they took our family on a private tour/walk. Our guide, Frandel was super knowledgeable and passionate about he type of flora/fauna that we were seeing. He was able to spot so many things along our walk that we would not have seen ourselves. Overall it was a great experience, thanks guys, and Frandel.

We had a great time on this easy walking tour, seeing plenty of sloths (sleeping and awake) as well as many types of frogs and birds. The guides were great at setting up the scope exactly where the animals could be best seen, and helped us to photograph/video them through the scope.
I do wish that the guides had stopped to face the group when talking so we could have understood them better, as they were hard to hear when we were walking behind them as they led the way. They were generous with answering questions and very knowledgeable about the animals we were seeing.
Good value for the money!

Carlos was an amazing guide! We were a group of 16 and he paid extra attention to the kiddos. The sloths 🦥 were high up in the trees and we used a scope to see them. We learned a lot about birds, frogs and sloths. There was a snake on the trail too. Got great pictures. It’s super close in town and an easy way to get your sloth fix.

We had a wonderful tour with our eagle eyed guide Isaac. Not only was he knowledgable but very, very passionate. We saw about 4-5 sloths. One was quite low in a tree and moving (slowly of course lol). We also saw poisonous frogs, snakes, a black and white owl, lizards, a vulture and lots of birds.
It was 100% worth having a guide. There were people walking around seeing absolutely nothing.
